White also said the school district’s somewhat remote location in a rural part of the state was another factor in erecting the sign.

Parents’ reaction

A lot of parents seem to be OK with the sign, citing the string of school shootings over the years.

“Schools have been a target for, for lack of a better word, crazy people, and I’m perfectly fine with it,” said Jillian Sides, who has two sons, one in 7th grade and one in kindergarten, at the school.

Right now the sign is only at one of the school’s entrances, but other signs will eventually be placed at other entrances, so no one can say they weren’t warned.
